NEW in Makeup PLUS Gift Ideas (Video)

I'm back! The fire alarm went off around 3 am Monday morning, and once I finally fell back asleep (it was a prank, so all is well), I ended up sleeping in too late to post, but I'm back with a post today! Here's a pic of Charlie to make up for it:


He's so cute! That was an outtake from my latest video, link below, that I'm really hoping you'll check out. Anyway, I wanted to share some NEW in beauty products that could possibly be gift ideas to give/receive. I was sent these and I loved them and thought you might, too! A two-in-one combo for a post!

  6. Elle! You just made my wishlist even longer! LOL. I'm swooning over those brushes and the Makeup Revolution brushes as well. I've been wanting to try oval brushes for so long, and I think that set is now going straight to the top of my list. The glitter brushes are gorgeous as well. Ugh. Decisions, decisions. Haha. Thanks for sharing with us girl, these are all great ideas!!

  7. So, I will choose :) Ooohh, so many great ideas! But I choose the Pixi kit, because I love practical kits, like that one, with many colors! And the Braid book, I never saw something like that and now I want it! By the way, ooooh, so cute, this dose of cuteness is so good - Charlie! He is adorable, but alas, surely you heard this 258 times before!

  16. Charlie is adorable, but I’m sorry to hear about the false fire alarm at 3 am, that’s not a funny prank, that's just mean. I don’t wear makeup by one of my best friends does; I’m going to get her the Makeup Revolution Precision Contour Set, and Eye set, I think she will love it, and they are affordable.

  17. As a girl who loves braids, that braid book is quite fabulous! And I really love those makeup brushes too.

  18. I asked for the Tarte brush set for Christmas this year, but they're already sold out! I'll have to tell my family about some of those it cosmetics set because they look like ones that I'd love!

    ReplyDelete
  19. Ah! I just love that you and Charlie have matching sweaters. That's precious! :)

    Those eye shadow pigments looked awesome! Super pigmented!

    That glittery case is so cute!

  20. I would love to see travel ideas in your next video: what to bring if it's a different climate then what you live in, how to narrow down items for long trips, any must haves or multi tasking products! Love the video today!

  21. Watched this morning as I was getting ready and totally swooned when you showed the Makeup Revolution brushes!
    I NEED to get my hands on some IT brushes as well!

  24. Good thing the fire alarm was just a prank. I think I'd be super happy if any of these landed under my Christmas tree especially those gorgeous Makeup Revolution brushes. My obsession with rose gold continues ;p

  27. I need to learn how to even just french braid. I can kind of do it with my daughters hair, but it isn't tight enough and falls out after an hour. I love anything Pixi!

  34. The two IT Cosmetics makeup brush sets interest me the most!

  35. Ahh, saving these post for later! So many goodies! I love that pixie palette and those rose gold contouring brushes!

    ReplyDelete
  36. That It Cosmetics palette is calling my name. I've fallen in love with that brand recently and find myself needing all the It things. I love the glitter brushes too. I think all brushes should come with glitter handles. I've ordered some oval brushes from Amazon and I love them. They aren't as cute as those rose gold ones though. That's such a good pic of you and Charlie!

  37. You and Charlie are to cute !!! Love the red lips on you and thank you for all the great present ideas!!! Just love it all and so fun to watch you :) !! Have a lovely weekend !! X
